Nancy/Pearl Jane McCoy b. 20 Jan 1896 Hart, Oceana Co., MI. was the natural daughter of Rosetta Violet Babcock, Mattison, Gilbert and George McCoy who she later married in 1902. Nancy McCoy was given up when her mother and husband Philemon D. Gilbert separated. She was adopted by James and Delila (Samuels) Wilcoxson in Crystal, Oceana Co., MI at age of 4 years. I believe they are the ones who changed her name to Pearl Jane Wilcoxson. Pearl Jane McCoy/Wilcoxson married 1/h Rupert R. Thompson, 2/h Lawrence Wood. She and Lawrence Wood are buried in Mona View Cemetery in Muskegon Heights, Muskegon Co., MI.

Gilbert living 1850 Census and Thomas Gilbert living with him on 1860 Federal Census. Also his first wife Betsey Conkley Gilbert is most likely buried in this cemetery since she died in Leavitt Twp. Oceana Co., MI.
